Hi Kevin,

I see you've made a Github issue as well
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/4256). That's good, as I
would've recommended making one since the mailing list isn't
frequently used these days. I will respond in the issue as well and we
can continue conversation wherever you'd prefer.

The folks who did most of the implementation of `dbslower`
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pulls?q=is%3Apr+dbslower+is%3Aclosed)
aren't particularly active in this repo these days. They might have
the mysql expertise necessary to answer your question. Unfortunately
I'm not sure if any of the current maintainers have experience tracing
MySQL - myself included. Regardless, if you're willing to dig around
in the MySQL source I do think your suggested approach of modifying
which functions are uprobe'd is likely to work. If current tracing of
'dispatch_command' isn't catching the actual statements in the
transaction, presumably there's some other function that is processing
the text of those statements that should be fine to trace in lieu of /
in addition to what's currently being traced.

If you do get this working we'd certainly appreciate a PR!
